Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of inorganic powder performance testing devices, specifically relating to a testing device for the flow properties of inorganic powder. Background Technology

[0002] When performing performance tests on inorganic powders, the flow rate and volume of inorganic powders are generally tested using the funnel method. Typically, a powder flow meter is used to test the powder flow performance. The main structure of the powder flow meter includes a frame, a funnel, a measuring cup, and an overflow tray. During the test, the powder is placed into the funnel, and the powder flows into the measuring cup. The overflow tray is used to collect the powder that overflows from the measuring cup. The height of the funnel can generally be adjusted, and the adjustment is made by the traditional tightening bolt method.

[0003] When testing the flow properties of powder using a powder flow meter, adjusting the height of the funnel by tightening bolts is not convenient enough. The funnel's stability is easily reduced due to loose bolts. In addition, to ensure the accuracy and stability of the test structure, multiple repeated tests are required to reduce errors. This requires frequently refilling the powder from the measuring cup into the funnel, which increases the workload and is not convenient. Furthermore, powder may spill during the process of refilling the funnel. The angle of the funnel cannot be rotated to facilitate multiple repeated tests. Improvements are needed.

[0004] Existing powder flow meters for testing powder flow properties using the funnel method lack an auxiliary testing device for rotating the funnel. To address this, this application proposes a testing device for the flow properties of inorganic powders. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a technical solution: a testing device for the flow properties of inorganic powder, including a support, comprising a base plate 11 and a fixing plate 12 fixed by screws. The base plate 11 and the fixing plate 12 serve as a supporting structure, supporting the adjusting component and the funnel assembly. A concave limiting groove 122 is formed on the surface of the fixing plate 12, and a limiting protrusion 23 is embedded in the limiting groove 122, serving to limit the limiting pressure block 22. The adjusting component includes a lifting block 2 sleeved on the outside of the fixing plate 12 and a sliding through-hole. The lifting block 2 has a pressing rod 3 on its side, a limiting block 22 fixed to one end of the pressing rod 3 by a threaded connection, a limiting protrusion 23 welded to the limiting block 22, and a pressure spring 21 installed between the inner wall of the lifting block 2 and the limiting block 22. When changing the height of the funnel assembly, a pressing force is applied to the pressing rod 3 with one hand, and the pressing rod 3 squeezes the limiting block 22 and the pressure spring 21. There is a gap between the limiting block 22 and the fixing plate 12, which facilitates quick adjustment of the height of the lifting block 2. Releasing the pressing rod... The lever 3 is pulled in the opposite direction, and the elastic force of the compression spring 21 acts on the limiting block 22. The limiting block 22 is embedded inside the fixed plate 12, and the limiting protrusion 23 is embedded inside the limiting groove 122, so that the lifting block 2 is firmly placed on the outside of the fixed plate 12, and the compression spring 21 is always in a compressed state; the rotating component includes a fixed block 4 welded to the side of the lifting block 2, a fixed rod 5 perpendicular to the fixed block 4, a rotating cylinder 7 rotatably connected to one end of the fixed rod 5, and a limiting cylinder 6 slidably sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod 5 and the rotating cylinder 7. Rotation allows for changing the angle of the funnel assembly, facilitating repeated flow rate tests. The funnel assembly includes a feed pipe 81 that passes through the rotating cylinder 7, test funnels 82 symmetrically mounted at both ends of the feed pipe 81, and a funnel cover 83 that is threadedly connected to the test funnels 82. The test funnels 82 are made of transparent plastic material for easy observation of the flow rate. The funnel cover 83 and the test funnels 82 are separate structures, making it easy to open the funnel cover 83 and put the inorganic powder into the test funnels 82 for powder flow rate testing.

[0028] In this embodiment, a groove 121 for the pressing rod 3 to pass through is provided on the surface of the fixing plate 12. The limiting pressure block 22 has a "T" shaped cross section. The limiting pressure block 22 is engaged with the groove 121. The limiting pressure block 22 is embedded in the groove 121. The limiting pressure block 22 is interference-fitted with the fixing plate 12.

[0029] In this embodiment, a support spring plate 9 is fixed to the bottom surface of the lifting block 2 by screws. The support spring plate 9 has an "L" shaped structure. A fixed hemisphere 91 is welded on the support spring plate 9. The fixed hemisphere 91 cooperates with the corresponding limiting groove 122. The support spring plate 9 is made of spring steel. The support spring plate 9 plays the role of supporting the lifting block 2. In addition, the fixed hemisphere 91 is embedded in the corresponding limiting groove 122, which also plays a limiting role and prevents the support spring plate 9 from moving down.

[0030] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 7 is provided with a concave limiting groove a, and the inner surface of the limiting cylinder 6 is welded with a limiting strip 61. The limiting strip 61 corresponds to the limiting groove a. The cross-section of the limiting strip 61 is a semi-circular plate shape. The limiting strip 61 is embedded in the limiting groove a to limit the rotating cylinder 7 and prevent the rotating cylinder 7 from rotating.

[0031] In this embodiment, symmetrically distributed guide rods 41 are connected to the side of the fixing block 4 by threaded connection. The guide rods 41 are inserted into the limiting cylinder 6. The inner diameter of the limiting cylinder 6 is the same as the outer diameter of the rotating cylinder 7. The limiting cylinder 6 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating cylinder 7 to limit the rotating cylinder 7. The guide rods 41 play the role of limiting the limiting cylinder 6 and preventing the limiting cylinder 6 from deflecting.

[0032] In this embodiment, the feed pipe 81 and the test funnel 82 are internally connected. The end of the test funnel 82 near the feed pipe 81 is conical. The rotating cylinder 7 and the feed pipe 81 are fixed by screws. The test funnel 82 is filled with inorganic powder, which is allowed to leak down from the narrow end of the test funnel 82 under the action of gravity.

[0033] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0034] When testing the flow properties of inorganic powder, manually open the funnel lid 83, put the inorganic powder into the test funnel 82, and rotate the funnel lid 83 to seal the test funnel 82.

[0035] Rotate the rotating cylinder 7 180 degrees to rotate the test funnel 82 from the lower position to the higher position;

[0036] The limiting cylinder 6 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating cylinder 7 to limit the rotating cylinder 7, prevent the rotating cylinder 7 from rotating, and keep the axis of the test funnel 82 in a vertical state.

[0037] With the test funnel 82 in a vertical position, the powder falls from the narrow end of the test funnel 82 under the action of gravity and falls into the interior of the test funnel 82 at a lower position. The test funnel 82, made of transparent plastic material, allows the flow rate to be observed.

[0038] When multiple tests are required, the limiting cylinder 6 moves, the rotating cylinder 7 is rotated, the position of the test funnel 82 is changed, and the above operation is repeated to test the flow properties of inorganic powder.

[0039] When changing the height of the test funnel 82, apply a pressing force to the pressing rod 3 with one hand. The pressing rod 3 squeezes the limiting block 22 and the pressure spring 21. There is a gap between the limiting block 22 and the fixed plate 12, which facilitates quick adjustment of the height of the lifting block 2.

[0040] At the same time, lift one end of the support plate 9 so that the fixed hemisphere 91 leaves the limiting groove 122;

[0041] Release the pressing rod 3 and pull it in the opposite direction. The elastic force of the pressure spring 21 acts on the limiting block 22. The limiting block 22 is embedded in the interior of the fixed plate 12, and the limiting protrusion 23 is embedded in the interior of the limiting groove 122, so that the lifting block 2 is stable on the outside of the fixed plate 12, and the pressure spring 21 is always in a compressed state.

[0042] Release the support spring plate 9, the deformed support spring plate 9 returns to its original position, the fixed hemisphere 91 is embedded in the limiting groove 122, the support spring plate 9 plays the role of supporting the lifting block 2, the fixed hemisphere 91 is embedded in the corresponding limiting groove 122, which also plays a limiting role to prevent the support spring plate 9 from moving down.

[0043] In summary: The powder flow meter has an auxiliary testing device for rotating the angle of a funnel made of transparent plastic. Through the designed rotating parts and funnel assembly, the angle of the test funnel 82 can be changed, allowing the positions of the test funnel 82 at the high and low positions to be interchanged. By changing the angle of the funnel assembly, it is convenient to repeatedly perform flow rate tests.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described (see the detailed description above), it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
